Baidu Q4 Earnings Report Late February, Not Monday
By KEVIN SHALVEY, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted 12:29 PM ET
Chinese search leader Baidu (BIDU) has pushed its Q4 earnings report back to the end of February, almost a month later than it usually reports and about two weeks after the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations, says an analyst.
"They're trying to get more visibility. That will probably be the latest that they've reported in the last six years," said Mayuresh Masurekar, an analyst with Collins Stewart. But he also says he does not see the later-than-usual reporting date as a cause for concern.

Last week and Monday, IBD and others reported that Baidu would release its fourth-quarter results late Monday. That had been widely assumed, but the company has yet to file a reporting date with the SEC, nor has it posted any announcement on its company website.
Baidu has not yet responded to emails seeking comment and confirmation of its reporting date. Analyst Masurekar, however, says he had contacted the company and was told the reporting date would be late February.
Masurekar says the company wanted to give itself time after the end of Chinese New Year celebrations to prepare and release its results. Celebrations for Chinese New Year 2012, the Year of the Dragon, began Jan. 23 and end Feb. 6.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters see Q4 revenue of $698.9 million, up 88% from $371.3 million in Q4 2010.
Per-share profit minus items is expected to be 91 cents, up 82%.All subscribers will receive thisPETAon schedule red-eye after Q4 earnings are announced.

NFLX reports earnings after market close on Wednesday, 25 January. We will send a Post-Earnings Trade Alert (PETA) to all Quarterly and Yearly subcribers late Wednesday evening.

Our PETA trade on GOOG last Friday morning produced a return of over 110%. We bought the $590 PUTs that were set to expire that day; we got in at an average of $3.20 and sold at $6.90.

If you would like an opportunity to profit, you can buy the NFLX trade through PayPal.

Our PETAs have an excellent risk-reward profile since we do an in-depth study of the fundamentals, technicals, and price psychology for several days; then after we see the quarterly results and listen to the conference call (CC) sometimes several times, we decide whether the after market price reaction will continue or reverse.

PETAs have been a very successful offering for our subscribers. We invite you to join us for a Quarter or at least this NFLX trade.

The replay of the webcast will be available through the same link following the CC. Please visit Google’s investor relations website at investor.google.comon January 19th, 2012 to view the earnings release prior to the CC.
